Determine how fast was the train going

Reference no: EM13648235

The original Doppler effect expirament had a pair of sound sources- one on a moving train and one at rest on the train station platform. The two sources played identical notes (f=100 Hz) and the observers noted a beat frequency of 5 Hz between the two sources. How fast was the train going? (assume the speed of sound to be 343 m/s and no wind)
